– Volume 3 Episode 5

Embarrassment spread across the faces of the Hunters.

Some of them were like, what’s the problem with the mulberry tree, but there were a lot of people who didn’t.

Handstand standing was nothing other than a basic physical fitness test.

The handgun tree was a movement that even ordinary people could easily do if they had trained their body.

However, it was also a movement that was difficult to do if I had not done anything on a regular basis.

“Then, please get ready. Start!”

Whik!

The whistle sounded and everyone started to stand on their feet.

Jung Daesik also stood on the hand.

His stamina level is 40!

This mulberry tree was nothing.

However, looking at the other hunters, the results were surprising.

I thought it would be easy to pass this level, but unexpectedly, close to half of the people couldn’t stand the handgun tree properly.

Many of the hunters were frustrated and unable to stand a single handful of trees.

Seeing that scene, Jung Daesik achieved enlightenment.

‘Right! Hunters like that usually rely on magic or items to hunt! If he had a high innate mana or equipped with excellent weapons, there would be no need to train his body.’

It is the same even if you choose to chase after only a good prey.

If you are always wandering around the suljapat and have not been exposed to situations that will put you at risk of your own limitations or life, then you do not need a high level of stamina.

However, Jung Daesik, who had experienced life and death as a porter several times, knew how important his basic physical strength was.

Mana will be depleted someday, and items will also be destroyed.

When you run into an extreme situation, in the end, all you have to believe is your arms and legs!

Knowing that fact well, Jung Daesik has prioritized improving his physical strength even when he plays.

If he had told him he didn’t have the smart ability, he wouldn’t have neglected his physical training.

In fact, even when he was a porter, he always took care of his body so that he wouldn’t die.

That is why, when he first became a Hunter, his muscular strength and stamina were better than normal people.

‘okay. Physical strength is the basis of all abilities! Mental strength must also be supported by physical strength. It’s a titan attack indeed. Usually hunters dig into areas that are easy to overlook.’

A few minutes have passed since I started to stand up.

Even those who stood up well for the first time could not bear their weight or lost their balance and fell.

After 5 minutes, the number remaining is only one-third.

Only about 30 people made it through the gate.

“Please keep your posture right!”

As the whistle blew once more, the sound of sickness erupted everywhere.

As the people who barely passed the handstand collapsed with groans, a short break was given.

The first test did not end there.

The supervisor said in a merciless tone.

“I’m going to do push-ups in a moment. Your chest and hips should be in a straight line, and you should do this for three minutes.”

At those words, the sound of death echoed from all directions.

Either way, five minutes later the whistle blew again.

Beep!

* * *

The content of the first test was really concise.

It was 5 minutes of handstand, 3 minutes of push-ups, and 30 pull-ups.

I ran those three basic fitness tests in a row at five-minute intervals, and only seven people survived to the end.

The level of the hunters who had taken off their special abilities and expensive items was only this level, and I felt pitiful.

‘It’s a shame.’

Jung Daesik looked at the hunters who were eliminated because they could barely pass this level with pitiful eyes.

It was ridiculous to think that those guys were hunters and sulking around outside.

‘There is no other bright apricot.’

Jung Daesik groaned and left the auditorium.

Then he got his belongings back and went back to the waiting room.

Unlike before, the waiting room was very quiet.

But Ki Chul-min survived.

He wasn’t very welcome.

But when I met him, I just smiled.

Jung Daesik smiled and said to Ki Chul-min.

“The first test passed.”

To that, Ki Chul-min responded as if it were an insult.

“If you can’t pass that, you’ll have to quit your hunter life.”

Jung Daesik agreed.

He nodded his head, waiting for the second test to begin soon.

A light snack was provided and 30 minutes later, the second test began.

“The second test will be a mock battle. Follow me.”

The place that the supervisor led to was the hologram room.

The hologram room was usually used by novice hunters for training before going into battle.

Usually, they pay a certain amount and rent by the hour, but some large-scale holes have their own facilities.

It seemed that the hologram room was installed in the Titan raid.

It was surprising that a small and medium-sized raid group, not even a large hole, had such a facility.

Thinking that it was a place with more financial power than it looked, Jung Daesik headed to the observation room upstairs in the hologram room.

There I waited for my turn, watching others take the test.

The first person to fight the mock battle looked quite nervous.

He must be the first to take the test, and he even stood in front of other people’s eyes, so he must be nervous.

To him, the supervisor told him a few things.

“In this hologram room, you will fight a simulated battle with a virtual monster. The kind of monster you will face will be decided by a random lottery. You can use all of your abilities, equipment, and weapons. For your reference, this hologram The room is made very sturdy, so you don’t have to worry about it breaking. Also, unexpected situations may occur during battle. Please bear this in mind before proceeding with the test. We’ll start in about a minute.”

After a while.

The lighting in the observation room dimmed, and only the hologram room appeared bright.

The hunter standing in the middle gulps and swallows dry saliva, waiting for the monster he will face.

It wasn’t long before his eyes appeared holographic particles in shapes resembling pixels.

It soon changed to look very similar to a live-action monster.

“Aww!”

There was quite a bit of tension in the sound of how real it was.

The monster the first hunter will face is none other than an orc!

A bipedal, intelligent monster, it was not a very powerful enemy, but it was difficult to deal with because it was equipped with weapons and used cunning.

Occasionally, there were people who used to bloom or use magic tricks, so it was even more so.

Fortunately, this orc didn’t seem to know how to use advanced technology.

Afraid to see the hunter in front of him, he pulled an ax from his back and charged forward.

“Wow!”

The Hunter taking the test calmly pulled out his weapon.

He took out an automatic revolver in his hands and fired it.

Tadadadang! Ride and go!

The revolver blew out fire, and magic bullets were fired and struck the orc.

A few shots were hit by the orcs, but most were blocked by the orc wielding ax and bounced off.

Soon, an orc arrived in front of the hunter, wielding an ax the size of two human heads with great power.

Awesome!

The sound of the ripping of the wind resounded eerily, and the ax passed the Hunter’s head below his ears.

A few strands of his hair could be seen fluttering in the air in the bright light.

The cold-hearted Hunter bowed down and dug deep into the Orc’s arms.

And boldly, he held the muzzle close to the orc’s side.

Ta-ah!

The orc’s side was pierced and green blood splattered into the air.

However, the Hunter was hit in the temple by the orc’s elbow and was thrown to his side.

The orc kicked the fallen Hunter’s stomach, regardless of his side injury.

And he swung his ax at once and struck down the Hunter’s head.

“Aww!”

The Hunter screamed and withdrew, and suddenly the lights went out and his eyes went dark.

Jung Daesik, who was watching the scene with sweat on his hands, was taken by surprise.Then I managed to remind myself that this was only virtual, not real.

‘Wow, this is pretty realistic! If I go into that hologram room, I’ll be crazy.’

The fire was quickly lit again, but the orc’s hologram had already disappeared.

With only the hunter crouched on the floor left, a notice board announcing the result of the mock battle appeared in the air.

The result was defeat.

Damage taken by Orcs is 80%.

But in the end, the damage suffered by the Hunter was decisive.

He was fatally wounded in an instant because he could not block the critical hit.

Hunter sat down in his place and looked very disappointed.

Toward him, the other test takers applauded encouragingly.

In a bit of commotion, the first candidate left the hologram room, and the next hunter entered.

What appeared this time was a weaker monster than an Orc.

However, the number was large as it was weak.

As many as three goblins appeared at once.

The hunter in the second order, pushed by the number, had a hard time.

He was stabbed here and there by the goblin’s spear, and the damage piled up and he eventually died again.

‘Even if it’s a hologram, the monster’s stats seem to be set quite high. I must not be vigilant.’

The monster that appeared next was surprisingly different from the vicious monster that appeared earlier.

It was a banshee, a spirit-type monster with long hair.

It was very eerie to see him standing, dripping with black tears.

As Jung Daesik, it was the first monster I had ever seen.

Most of the other hunters were like that, not knowing the strategy and chattering.

“Isn’t that Banshee?”

“Isn’t that what crying sounds terrible?”

“But you’re already crying? How do you deal with that?”

“Shouldn’t it be done at once before crying?”

The hunter who faced the banshee also looked very troubled.

He showed a sign of contemplation for a moment, then clenched his long sword as if he had made up his mind.

And infused with his magic.

Paaah-!

The long sword was so shiny that it looked like he was using a sword.

The Hunter carefully took a stance, and immediately ran towards the Banshee at once.

“Haap!”

Perhaps, as most hunters thought, the banshee would hit the player before the terrifying pierce.

But what is this!

Even before the sword could strike Banshee, the transparent shield deflected the attack.
